An Outlaw s.3 Murderer Vn;s, Sentences
Of Death Escapes.


VAssAR, Mich, June 24-The dis
appearance of Mrs. Brooks is again to
the fore with a more romantic story
than at first. Several weeks ago l..
Marratt of this place wrote TO Anna
d. Butterfeld, at Riverside, Colorado,
asking information concerning Mrs.
Brooks. The following reply was re-
ceived Oh Monday:
"Your letter OF the 9Th is received
and contents noted. You say you
were at the Brookses and read my
letters to them, and you wanted to
know if / had employed q detective 10
hunt up Aunt Johanna. | have, and
he has found her and rescued her
from a prison cell, where she had been
for three months, Also, you wanted
to know If she had drawn all her
money. No, she has not drawn any
of what was coming to her, but had al
present of a draft for 10000. Then
her lawyer gave her $780, 900 IN cash.
She had that when / saw her in st.
Louis about the 18th of February.
She is heir to about 100000, with
use for over one year. A detective
has had the luck to find that much.
1t can't be got without a private mark
which was agreed on when they last
met the lady that had the a II OF it.
1t was to make her sign that mark
that they tortured her so far, but she
would not sign it, and l think she is
very gritty. The detective writes
me that they kept her six days with
| out a mouthful to eat, and applied all
manner of tortures that are cruel. |
| shall see that she is taken TO her fam
lily; shall try to get her there by the
4th OF July, if her mind is so that We
can move her, for now she is crazy.
They killed her boy before her eyes;
that turned her mind.
ANNA A. BUTTERFIELD."
The letter was evidently written by
| the same hand that penned the letter
signed by Mrs. Brooks and detailing
the story OF her imprisonment.
S~sanford's Candidacy.
WASHINGTON, June "A. The Ma
tional Republican, speaking to-day Of
the various Presidential candidates,
says: The Pacific Coast has never
had the President or the candidate.
That section of the Republic is an i'm
portant factor in the wealth, enterprise
and future commerce of the country.
Many ideas that have and will affect
the legislation Of this Republic were
born there. Should the Pacific Coast
present the name OF Leland Stanford,
it will command the respect of the
American people. 1t is not too much
to say that mainly by his efforts the
Republic was bound together by bands
of steel at a time when it was threat
ened by dismemberment into several
Republics. Whatever of disadvantage
there may be in possessing great
wealth in the minds of the plain peo-
pie, they will not forget that Mr..
Stanford has given employment to
more than sixteen thousand men an
nually, and paid them promptly with
out a strike upon all the railways at
which he stands at the head. They
will not forget, also, that the grandest
gift in the worlds history by a private
| citizen to endow an institution of learn
ing, was made by him for the educa-
ton of the children of the people in
practical business and mechanical arts,
as we'll as in letters; that, as United
States Senator, he profoundly studied
the necessary changes in our laws to
enable the association of labor alone,
or of labor and capital, ON the most
advantageous terms to labor. All this
is said, with the information that
Stanford does not desire to be a can
didate for the Office.
